Kanye West parts ways with Tidal

These sources also say that a month ago, Kanye's lawyer sent a letter to Tidal, saying the company was in breach and the contract was terminated.

Once the best of friends, United States megastars Kanye West and Jay Z have reportedly fallen out over money.

West claims that album brought 1.5 million new subscribers to Tidal - a number that was apparently supposed to come with a bonus check, according to TMZ. Following his major falling out with Tidal, the rapper says he's done with exclusive releases for streaming services such as Apple and Spotify.

Tity Boi shared photos from the 4th of July weekend spent in Los Angeles with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and their two kids, Saint and North. If that happens, Kanye is prepared to file a suit against Tidal.

He also claims that the company never reimbursed him for music videos.

Tidal sources told the gossip website that West, whose issue with Tidal emerged before the release of "4:44", is owed more than $3 million. West's actions were a response to Jay-Z's lyrics, but this legal dispute seems to have dragged on for at least a month previous.

Tidal is now threatening to sue if Kanye jumps ship, and Kanye is threatening to sue right back.

Although the album was an exclusive stream on Tidal, it wasn't available for purchase or download, which generated a mammoth increase in piracy.

NEW YORK - AUGUST 22: Rappers Jay Z (L) and Kanye West perform onstage during Screamfest '07 at Madison Square Garden on August 22, 2007 in New York City. I don't got Tidal, so a nigga had to bootleg it to me.

"You walking around like you invincible/ You dropped out of school, you lost your principles/ I know people back stabbed you, I felt bad too/ But this "f**k everybody" attitude ain't natural", JAY-Z raps.
